Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The students quickly argued about the role of the film master Chaplin. Those who agreed that he was a clown thought his performance was a clown, while those who disagreed believed that he was a movie actor. The dispute was fierce.

"Stop, stop, in fact, whether Master Chaplin is playing a clown or not, but he really brought us laughter, students, I am very glad that you have such a great dream, but we can't laugh at it Those students who only have very small dreams, because no matter what their dreams are, as long as they serve and contribute to mankind, then they are great. Here, I wish Gregory’s dreams will come true as soon as possible. May you Bring laughter to the whole world!"

Enthusiastic applause rang out, echoing in the simple and airy classroom, applauding not only the students in the classroom, but also Guan Xuqing and the accompanying officials.

After class, the students went to the cafeteria to eat. In fact, the cafeteria is just a simple stove built with stones and soil embryos. After receiving the rice noodles, the students will cook under the leadership of the older students. Every student is working on the fire, cooking, and chopping vegetables.From the first day of entering the school, these students have been instilled by the old students that they can't wait, rely on, and take everything. As long as they can do what they can, they must work with everyone. Here, the students understand equality, common prosperity, and collective values. idea.

After checking that the food subsidy from the state had not been deducted, Guan Xuqing felt a little satisfied.Due to the different conditions and standards in different places, the food subsidies in various places are used to purchase meals after the government distributes funds. In some places, education units at the county and city levels are selected for distribution after unified procurement.Here, a batch of grain, oil, rice and noodles are delivered from the state every week due to limited conditions.Meat can only be delivered in non-perishable seasons like winter, while in other seasons, meat and poultry such as salted fish, eggs, fresh chickens and ducks are chosen to supplement students' protein.

"Your class is good. You know how to mobilize students' enthusiasm for independent learning." Guan Xuqing came to the Russian teacher.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I learned this from my teacher. You can't simply point out students' unrealistic wishes and ideals, but learn how to guide them in judging which things are right and which are wrong." After seeing Guan Xuqing, he didn't lose his composure with excitement, but talked with the giant calmly, just like two old friends talking easily and freely.

"According to your years of work, you should be at the level of a principal." Guan Xuqing was a little surprised. From the introduction of his entourage, he learned that this teacher was actually the first batch of teachers trained since East Siberia belonged to China. These students are either state government officials or the management of some factory unit. Few of them are as unknown as him.

"Aren't I the principal now?"

His rhetorical question made Guan Xuqing speechless. Indeed, he is also a principal now, leading the principal who is so close to more than 100 Chinese and Russian students.But a brilliant educator like him should have been in a better school.

"This is the path I chose. According to the rules, teachers in areas with poor support conditions can be rotated every three years, but I think the worse the conditions are, the more people like us are needed. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. , I have been to six impoverished states in Siberia to support education, and my students have been left behind in each place, and my youth and sweat have been left in each place.” After speaking, the teacher took the older students and began to carry some Construction materials, ready to build a new school building.

His words made Guan Xuqing respectful. Although the three-year teaching support life was difficult, teachers who had experienced teaching support would be given priority in the rating of future jobs. This made many students who graduated from normal schools go to places with difficult conditions for a Teaching work.However, Guan Xuqing was the first time to meet a teacher who had supported teaching six times.

In the face of such a selfless and dedicated teacher, Guan Xuqing didn't know what to say. Because of such selfless people, the future of the empire is hopeful, and the basic education of the empire can penetrate into every corner.As Guan Xuqing once said, although the peak of the technological pyramid is unattainable, it is the huge and solid foundation that creates the peak. The stronger the foundation is, the higher the peak can be built.

In the car on the way back, Guan Xuqing thought silently that this school may not produce an internationally renowned science giant in the future, but it will train hundreds of students who have received basic education in the years to come. It will also produce a small number of students who are admitted to universities.It is precisely these thousands of basic education schools that will become the solid cornerstone of China's future science and technology system. Through these schools, the cultural level of the people of the empire will be gradually improved, starting bit by bit, each student From childhood.These schools not only changed the future destiny of these students, but also changed the future destiny of the empire.

"Your Majesty, shall we go to the University of Siberia next stop? A special lecture will be held there soon." Seeing the Emperor pondering for a long time, Chen Bulei carefully asked for instructions.

"Lecture? Who is the keynote speaker?"

"You must be familiar with Mr. Nicholas Strass."

"Oh?" Guan Xuqing immediately became interested, "Isn't Tesla in the vault laboratory? Why did he come to Siberia?"

"Mr. Truss heard about the lack of well-known professors in higher education in Siberia, so he readily agreed to be a visiting professor at the University of Siberia and give lectures from time to time without any payment."

"Haha...everyone said that this guy, Truss, is weird, but he is indeed so, let's go and have a look!"

Siberian University Lecture Hall.

In front of the huge boxwood podium, a thin and slightly haggard man in a black suit was giving a speech to the dark audience below.Judging from his appearance, he is a Westerner, but at this time he is talking to thousands of teachers and students in very fluent Chinese.

Guan Xuqing recognized at a glance that this person was Dr. Nicola Terras.

"In fact, right now, a new civilization is emerging in our lives. Although it has been suppressed to some extent, it can be confirmed that this new civilization will change the way we work, live and love, bringing A new economic and political conflict, and above all, a change in our ideology. This new civilization is already showing its head and feet in our lives. In today's world, many people have doubts about the future , They always feel that they are going to be in a desperate situation, they are always obsessed with the past, and want to restore the dying old world they were familiar with in the past, but I am here to tell them clearly that the birth of a new civilization cannot be stopped and obliterated No way."

Truss' voice was high-pitched and passionate, and no one could have imagined that it came from a middle-aged man who had been working continuously for two days and two nights.

"Energy is the prerequisite for the existence of any civilization. The energy of ancient agricultural civilization is mainly human and animal power, as well as natural energy from the sun, wind and water. When people cook and heat, they use firewood and push the millstone Water power is used, and livestock are used to pull the plow to cultivate the land. China has been the most mature and richest agricultural country in the world for a long time in history. I remember some statistics saying that there are still 400 million horses in China And 700 million cows and various other animals are working for this huge agricultural empire. This is almost the largest energy source in Asia. No matter in the east or in the west, in agricultural civilization, energy is renewable. Just like nature will grow new trees, sails don’t have to worry about the wind disappearing one day, running water will provide lasting power for waterwheels, as for livestock and working people, it is a renewable energy that can continue to reproduce from generation to generation.”

Having said that, Truss glanced at the young students who helped him move the instrument.

Truss cleared his throat slightly and continued: "Actually, during the period when agricultural civilization dominated, hints of the future balance of power often appeared. We all know that there were large-scale production factories sprouting in ancient Greece and Rome. Someone drilled an oil well on an island in Greece a few years ago. China has already started to use oil on a large scale in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In ancient Alexandria, even a primitive steam engine appeared. These are all faint flashes of things to come. Just as agricultural civilization cannot and cannot reject the emergence of industrial civilization, we cannot and cannot reject future civilization now.”

"The industrial revolution is when the rule of agricultural civilization is the most stable, setting off an unprecedented storm and creating a civilization with more vitality than agricultural civilization. It involves all aspects of human life and impacts all the characteristics of the past. It It gave birth to the automobile factory, made the tractor run across the fields, made the railroad and the train, got the typewriter in the office, got the ship in the sea, got the airplane in the sky, and above all, it connected all these things together , assembled like a machine to form the most powerful and expansive social system the world has ever seen, and this is our present world."

"Contrary to the agricultural society, the energy in the industrial society began to widely use coal, natural gas and oil, which are extracted from underground storage, and provided a large number of subsidies for people living in industrial civilization, which greatly promoted economic growth. These come from Underground energy constitutes the basis of industrial civilization. On this basis is the rapid advancement of technology. It can be said that new technologies are driven by new energy systems.”

"Coal, railways, imitation weaving, steel, rubber, machine tool manufacturing, etc., they consume a lot of energy and produce a lot of waste and pollutants. We can now foresee that these traditional industries will become backward and However, just as the industrial civilization had already begun to emerge when the agricultural civilization was still dominant, a new civilization has quietly appeared now. What is it? It is electricity."

"Electricity is no stranger to us now, it has profoundly affected our lives, but what I want to say is that our understanding of it is far from enough, and the real "Electricity Age" is coming , the changes to our lives will be far beyond our imagination."

"300 years ago, when people saw a large number of farmers working in the fields with hoes and sickles, only a lunatic would have thought that the rural population would decrease in the near future, and people would flock to the cities in droves , go to the factory to earn bread. But today's facts prove that the madman's idea is completely correct."

"Today, in the eyes of many people, I may be an out-and-out lunatic. Here I would like to thank my many Chinese friends for not treating me as a lunatic, but now please listen to a lunatic describe such a lunatic to you. time."

"In this era, we sit at home and can see people and things in another country just through a display device."

"In this era, we can transmit signals, text and voice to any corner of the world at will, and can transmit printed and handwritten documents."

"In this era, everyone will have such an electric device in their hands, which can not only be used to communicate with people in another corner of the world, but also can be used to transmit text and images, and images can be Activities. Let the relatives far away from home can see each other's appearance, listen to their words and talk with each other without any effort."

"In this day and age, each of us has a machine powered by electricity, which can solve all kinds of problems for us, and which can perform tasks for us that even the greatest mathematician in the world can't stand. Computing can record and store a large amount of information, images, photos, and music for us, and display these information, images, and photos in front of us when we need them, and play any music we want to hear for us. We use It can control the activities of some machines, so that the same work as in the factory can be done at home."

"In this era, no matter where a ship sailing in the sea or a car driving on land goes, the driver can accurately know his position and speed, so as to avoid accidents such as shipwreck and collision."

"The scene of this era seems so unbelievable to all of us now, just like a lunatic's dream, but what I want to show you is that these are not far-fetched fantasies, and the miracle of the 'Electricity Age' is inevitable. will appear before us."

"Next, what I'm going to show you is not magic, but a necessity for our future life." Truss said, waving to his students, and the students immediately pushed a card with wheels. There is a square wooden box on the table. On the side facing the audience is a large square display screen. There are many mechanical buttons on the side of the box.

Truss and the students quickly powered on the strange box. The box made a low beep, and soon there were flashing dots on the display screen. Truss and the students While carefully observing the display screen, while adjusting the buttons next to it, after a while, the beeping of the box stopped, and a girl was clearly shown on the dim display screen!

When seeing the image that appeared on the display screen, there was no sound in the hall, only the slight creaking sound from the machine from time to time.

The image on the display screen became more and more clear, and people could see clearly that it was a room. The girl was sitting on a chair, carefully taking care of several pigeons that looked like they were injured, and some healthy pigeons were naughty. stood on her shoulders.

Everyone's eyes widened and they stared at the screen closely. Those sitting in the back all raised their binoculars at the same time.

It may have received some signal, or it may be that the little girl sensed that someone was watching her, so she raised her head and showed an innocent and lovely smile to people.There was a burst of exclamation in the auditorium, and some people even jumped out of their seats in surprise!

And when a pigeon flew up from the table and landed on the little girl's head, the crowd erupted instantly.Because they all recognized that room as a certain dormitory in the school, and that girl was a student of this school.

Only Guan Xuqing kept smiling.

Truss said: "Here is a device that receives images, and the device that transmits images is in this room that you see."

"We call this device a 'surveillance camera'. It can fully display what is happening in another place in front of us. It is still in the experimental stage, so it is not yet possible to transmit images and sounds simultaneously, but We have reason to believe that in the near future, we will be able to do this and do so over longer transmission distances."

"For us, electricity is a clean and clean energy source, unlike coal and oil, which produce acrid smoke and waste water that pollutes rivers and land, and these will cause great damage to our health, so we We must realize this and replace it with better electricity before the hazards do not threaten each of us. Another thing we all need to pay attention to is that coal and oil are not endless, they must be consumed In the end of the day, I often hear people say that if all the coal in China is dug out, it will be enough for the world to use for hundreds of years. This is the actual situation, but what I want to say is hundreds of years later? When China has no coal What should we do now? I think everyone can understand the answer now. I am glad that China not only has a large amount of coal but also many rivers, and these rivers are the real precious energy. China has now started many hydropower stations The construction of these hydropower stations will bring abundant electricity to China, and this electricity may enable China to enter another great era of industrial civilization, the "Era of Electricity". I am also very willing to see the great era of electricity first The great country of China emerged."

Washington is sunny and warm in April.

After more than ten hours of turbulence, the plane on which the representative of the Chinese Plenipotentiary Conference and Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang finally landed safely at Washington Airport.After all, the war has just ended. It is not an easy task to travel from Beijing to Washington. The route of the plane is restricted by many factors. In addition to the natural factors such as weather and air flow that must be taken into account in the past, the country of transit must also be considered .

"Old Wu, are you okay?" After a period of violent turbulence, the plane landed steadily on the airport runway, and the second prince Pu De who accompanied him stood up from his seat and walked quickly to the old Wu Tingfang. asked with concern.

At this time, Wu Tingfang's face was extremely pale, and he could not even see a trace of blood. He had a serious heart disease. According to the regulations, he should not take an airplane, especially for such a long flight, but for this The meeting this time was very important, and he also shouldered the important task of leading the second prince out to practice, so he did not accept the doctor's advice, and stubbornly boarded the plane to Washington.

"I'm fine." Wu Tingfang squeezed out a smile, waved his hand slightly, and said in a low voice: "It seems that this person is always dissatisfied."

"Do you want to rest for a while, let's wait for a while before getting off the plane." Pu De suggested.

"No need." Through the window, Wu Tingfang glanced out, and saw the well-dressed US guard of honor on the outside of the airport runway quickly rearranging their formation. "Let's go down now. These Yankees are landlords after all. What kind of etiquette is it for us guests to keep people waiting for a long time?"
